Students divide two-digit numbers unit by unit: dividing the tens units first, finding the remainder (the number of tens unable to be divided), and decomposing remaining tens into ones to then be divided.

Now, let's learn how to divide 4-digit numbers with remainders. It's mostly the same. Let's learn with an example: 9317 ÷ 5 = ? The first step is to write this in long division form. We write the dividend, or the big number we want to split, inside the division bar. We write the divisor on the outside.

We can work out the dividend by multiplying the divisor by the quotient and adding the remainder: 3 x 2 + 1 = 7, so 7 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 1.

The dividend is the number you're dividing. Put 32, the divisor, on the outside of the bracket. The divisor is the number you're dividing by. Divide the first number of the dividend, 4 by the divisor, 32. 4 divided by 32 is 0, with a remainder of 4.
